The Radar

Message from Space (1978)
dir. Kinji Fukasaku


Alien (1979)
dir. Ridley Scott


"Dallas encounters the alien in the air shafts just as the computer depicted "sperm" and "egg" merge in the motion tracker, at which point we hear the baby-like Alien screech. The alien reaches out as if about to grab Dallas by the face."
